Free-agent pickup Corey White is in the mix as well. Though he is the one who unseated Henderson last year, Miree does not have the job just yet. Instead, the fullback position - like running back, safety, kicker and tight end - could have interesting twists and turns in Green Bay before a starter emerges by the end of training camp in 2½ months.
